Naxos
This label is based in Hong Kong and was founded by German expat. Klaus Heymann in the late 70's, initially releasing local artists but had the foresight to start publishing classical CD's at mid/budget price fairly early on and along with a sound release strategy it has managed to become the biggest and best known classical label this side of Deutsche Grammophon. Although the company's output is mainly classical there is also a variety of historical records, jazz and spoken word released by Naxos each year and noticeably the spoken word catalogue is usually available in both German and English, sublabels include Marco Polo that publishes little known works or works by little known composers, the Jazz Legends and Nostaglia labels publish out of copyright works in the jazz and classical fields respectively, Amadis is a super budget imprint while White Cloud is a more adventurous part that focuses on modern jazz and contemporary classical music. Has recently started releasing hybrid SACD's for world-wide distribution, previous releases were for the Asian market only, this will include future releases of some of the Marco Polo sublabel as well. -- Official homepage
